After a couple unexciting roster battles and a few health-related setbacks, the Detroit Tigers have 25 men ready to open the regular season Tuesday night against the Miami Marlins. Read on for the rundown.

Lineup:

Ian Kinsler

Justin Upton

Miguel Cabrera

1B

Victor Martinez

SH

DH

J.D. Martinez

RF

Nick Castellanos

3B

James McCann

C

Jose Iglesias

Anthony Gose

CF

This won’t be the lineup Tuesday, with the Tigers traveling to a National League park. Cameron Maybin in center field should also see plenty of starts upon recovery from a fractured left wrist. But this is likely close to an everyday configuration, barring more injuries.

Last year’s opening day lineup included Rajai Davis leading off (though platoon partner Gose ended up starting more games), Yoenis Cespedes at No. 6, and Alex Avila batting eighth (though McCann soon took over primary catching duties). Cespedes has been replaced by Upton, and in Davis’ absence, Maybin will share time with Gose.

Rotation:

Justin Verlander

RHP

Jordan Zimmermann

RHP

Anibal Sanchez

RHP

Mike Pelfrey

RHP

Shane Greene

The race to be fifth starter was saturated with competitors after frontrunner Daniel Norris’ spine fracture but ended up being pretty anticlimactic. Matt Boyd and Buck Farmer were in the running late in spring training, but the Tigers determined the former needed more seasoning and the latter was needed in the bullpen. Greene could move to a relief role once Norris completes his injury rehabilitation process.

Last year’s rotation included David Price and Alfredo Simon, who general manager Al Avila has replaced with Zimmermann and Pelfrey. Verlander and Sanchez are back and hoping to produce healthier and more consistent seasons. Greene, Boyd, Norris, and Farmer each started games last season, while Kyle Lobstein, Randy Wolf, and Kyle Ryan completed the fifth starter contingent. Lobstein and Wolf are out now, but midseason trade acquisition and consensus top prospect Michael Fulmer adds some depth.

Bullpen:

Francisco Rodriguez

RHP

Mark Lowe

RHP

Justin Wilson

LHP

Drew VerHagen

RHP

Kyle Ryan

LHP

Buck Farmer

RHP

Logan Kensing

No one from last year’s opening day bullpen remains, and only Rodriguez, Lowe, and Wilson were considered locks at the start of spring training. Shoulder issues for Alex Wilson and Blaine Hardy, the best relievers in Detroit last year, guaranteed a spot for VerHagen, another 2015 success story. Lendy Castillo, Bruce Rondon, and Bobby Parnell were in the mix, but initial longshots Ryan, Farmer, and Kensing (a non-roster invitee) earned the final three spots. It might not seem like an exciting group, but when Alex Wilson and Hardy are ready and Norris displaces Greene, this group could look a lot different. And say what you will about Rondon, but he and Parnell have high upside and await opportunities to prove themselves.

There are plenty of opinions out there when it comes to ranking Detroit Tigers prospects. Each list has its own flavor, as different analysts have distinctive resources, preferences, and qualifiers. Some leave players out inexplicably or include players who have since left the club. Some go 10-deep and some 50. Following, you will find my attempt to reconcile those variations by aggregating all the 2016 rankings I could find.

A few notes:

Michael Fulmer was the consensus No. 1.

MLive did not include Derek Hill, who six other sources placed at Nos. 2 or 3. The resulting penalty gave Christin Stewart the No. 3 spot here.

Baseball America and FanGraphs both ranked Mike Gerber at No. 3, while MLive put him at No. 4 and Motor City Bengals at No. 6. However, rankings between Nos. 12-16 from MLB Pipeline, TigsTown, and The Detroit News knocked him down to No. 11 here.

Wynton Bernard got rankings between Nos. 10-13 from Minor League Ball, FanGraphs, and Motor City Bengals. TigsTown and MLB Pipeline put him at Nos. 46 and 24, respectively, lowering him to No. 22 here.

FanGraphs was the only source to rank Jeff Ferrell and did so at No. 12.

The Detroit News and Minor League Ball are far apart on Matt Hall, giving him respective rankings of Nos. 48 and 19.

Dominic Ficociello got love from FanGraphs, who put him at No. 13, while three other sources ranked him between Nos. 26-45.

Baseball Prospectus released its top 10 back in November, so it featured Javier Betancourt and Luis Cessa, who have since departed the Tigers. I moved Dixon Machado from No. 9 on that list to No. 8 as a result.

Detroit acquired Kody Eaves in January, so he is only listed in Lynn Henning’s ranking for The Detroit News. He might otherwise have been included in TigsTown’s list, the only other to go 50-deep.
